This book offers two new perspectives on language attitudes and ideologies. First, it compares language commentary from two thus far relatively neglected time periods: the 19th and 21st centuries. Second, it draws on non-traditional, dialogic sources to explore not only the well-studied “expert” views on language but also the perspectives of the “audience” engaging with these texts. Using France and the French language as its case study, the book explores the areas of stability and change in questions of linguistic authority, insecurity, and correctness. It sheds new light on the evolution of the long-established genre of language commentary and deepens our understanding of the language attitudes and ideologies that shape how language is viewed, discussed and judged. This book will appeal to linguists interested in language attitudes and ideologies in both historical and contemporary contexts.

As a traditionally oral language spoken in areas with a literacy-based culture, Romani provides a unique case for the study of orality and literacy. In a mixed-methods approach, this work investigates attitudes of Romani speakers towards the modalities, their communicative functions and use, and editing behaviour in writing texts. Importantly, it allows a direct comparison of spoken and written language use of individuals. Thus, while Romani writing has been studied before, this book adds unique data and aspects of metalinguistic knowledge to the discussion. Moreover, broadening the empirical coverage of smaller languages within experimental research, it comprises the first study on implicit attitudes towards the Romani language. This makes it possible for insights from minority languages to bear on theories of orality and literacy. Beyond Romani linguistics, the book will appeal to researchers interested in minority language research, variability, language attitudes, and frameworks of spoken and written language.
